It seems unlikely that there would be a video device available in the US because it is illegal to copy DVDs to your HDD. Of course, there is software available to do it, and there are media boxes out there that will stream/play the video, but none of it has any commercial support in the US because no one has deep enough pockets to fight the MPAA. If you make a program that streams DVD video from a HDD and you make a box that plays it, you open yourself up to charges of encouraging piracy. Legitimate or not, defending yourself in a suit is expensive. Look up mythTV for streaming/playing video. Look up ImgBurn, DVDShrink, DVDDecrypter, etc. TD -- tyler_durden ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tyler_durden's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2701 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=38281 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
